The 2012 NVRG Holiday Gala
By Jim Nice; Photos by Cliff Green and Editor
Kathy & Jim Nice – Jim did some last minute
Christmas shopping – he picked up a handful
of NVRG 2013 calendars to give as gifts.
Cliff Green provides the festive Woodie complete
with twinkling lights that graces the area where we
stack the myriad of gifts to exchange.
John and Shelly Sweet were finally able to
join us – something about a wedding kept
them away last year!
Once again our group of V-8ers gathered at The Country Club of Fairfax for the annual NVRG Holiday Gala on
December 1st. This gathering is always a lot of fun with great food, drink, and spectacular company. Cliff and
Sandra Green always do a wonderful job organizing this event. To me, this is one of our best club events.
Everyone enjoyed the holiday decorations and the delicious food. The food choices were a breast of chicken
topped with crab meat, and filet mignon. I had the filet and Kathy had the chicken so we were able to try both
entrees; simply fabulous! We finished off our meal with a delicious crème brule. The Country Club of Fairfax
makes the best crème brule I’ve ever had.
Everyone enjoyed the white elephant gift exchange. Bill Simons emceed the exchange and was as entertaining as ever. We began the exchange by celebrating Cathy Cummings’ birthday with Bill Simons leading us in song.
There were some very interesting gifts this year. The most popular gifts were a “Woodie” dash clock (with
thermometer and hygrometer) and a vintage vacuum-driven car fan that mounts on a steering column (or at

The White House Christmas ornament was very
popular – there were 3 that changed hands often.

drew as Kathy looks on.

January 2013
Dear V-8ers,
If you've had the chance to take a breather after the holidays, and you think about what the coming year
holds for early Ford V-8 (and V-12) lovers, I bet you came away pretty dog-gone impressed. To begin with,
it's the Diamond Jubilee of Ford 1938 model year vehicles. While one more year remained before Mercury
made its debut, the Ford's and Lincoln's of seventy-five years ago were pretty spectacular from a design
perspective, especially the Lincoln-Zephyr, which became the industry style leader in 1938. If that isn't
enough to make 2013 special, the Early Ford V-8 club is celebrating the Golden Anniversary of the Grand
National in Lake Tahoe. Even our very own club is celebrating 35 energetic and fun filled years as the Northern Virginia Regional Group. To see how far we’ve come, take a look at our first NVRG newsletter on page 10.
It was sent out in February, 1978, after the Club’s first meeting where our first officers were elected. Amazingly, after all these years, all of our original officers are still V-8 Club members: Mike Gall, Hank Amster and
Walt Richmond are still here with us in the NVRG and Bob Guthrie lives in Ohio. Ranging farther afield, 2013
is also the centennial of the famed Lincoln Highway which began to answer the cry for good roads across the
nation.
These are just a few of the events that we'll be celebrating or noting this year, as the New Year begins. As
always, your Board of Directors is planning on lots of great events throughout the year and we hope you'll be
able to make as many as possible. While I rarely make a New Years resolution, I always make a few News
Years wishes, and mine for NVRG members is that may you and your family have a safe and prosperous year
filled with family, friends, great times and cool, great running V-8's.
Happy New Year and see you on the road!
John

least, that’s how it looked to me!). There were also
some great ’36 Ford jigsaw puzzles including one
with a Woodie, two V8 books, and three White
House ornaments. The White House ornament for
2012 celebrates President Taft as the first president
to introduce the automobile to the White House.
The ornament is a White Steamer with the President
and Mrs. Taft in the rear seat behind their chauffeur.
Ken Burns had the first pick and his gift was a
mason jar of real blueberry moonshine (100 proof;
50% alcohol). Apparently, moonshine can be sold
legally in VA ABC stores as long as its alcohol content
does not exceed 50%. I was so intrigued by this that
I traded Ken the jumper cables I opened for it (we
already have 2 pairs), which I think surprised him.
The “Woodie” dash clock, the vacuum fan and the
White House ornaments all made the rounds as
people opened gifts, then traded them. Ken had
final trade and traded his gift for the bottle of wine,
mentioning that he had traded up from the moonshine to the wine!
GARAGE-APALOOZA
The Eleventh Commandment – Thou Shall Not
Covet Thy Neighbor’s Garage. The Ken Gross and Al
Mason Garage Tour
By Nick Arrington
December 8th – Ray Lambert and I left Manassas
(me in my ‘35 Roadster and Ray in his ‘51 F-3) to
meet Ken Burns and company at Gilbert’s Corner
where we joined the Fair Oaks crowd and traveled to
Purcellville via Route 15 and scenic Harmony Church
Road. As we turned onto Ken Gross’s street and
walked up the driveway we were greeted by a
diverse variety of iron including Flathead Fords and
Lincolns, English rides including a Riley Street Rod,
Austin Nippy , ‘50s and ‘60s rods as well as the Ken
Gross stable of rods and motorcycles.
The driveway was already filling up when we arrived.
Jim LaBaugh was all smiles when he drew this 1.5 liter bottle Prima
Voce but not so much when Ken Burns claimed it on the final swap.
A big “Thank You” to Cliff and Sandra for another
wonderful Holiday Gala. What a great way to kickoff the holiday season!
Sarah Gunnarson once again designed and constructed the beautiful
table centerpieces. They were eagerly sought after door prizes.

As we approached the garage one could only be
impressed by the entire rear garage wall supporting
hundreds of vintage Flathead intake manifolds. If
walls could talk I’m sure that one is screaming
“Please not another manifold – we’re at capacity –
why can’t you collect something light like flyswatters.” What a display – a tribute to the West Coast
machine shops and foundries that jumped into the
speed equipment market after WWII. Plenty of
coffee, donuts and good conversation for all.

Nick’s ’35 Roadster parked at Al Mason’s
We then regrouped and headed to Al Mason’s
garage where Ray and I and everyone else in attendance were just awed, A full size paint booth and
welding station with hood and ventilation anchoring
each end and in the center an office capable of
hosting a Fortune 500 meeting, the ‘34 Roadster Al
ran in the Great American Race back in 1995, Flat
Fender Jeeps, Early Corvettes, an Auburn Speedster
and Vargas Girl Artwork on the walls – what’s not to
like?
John Ryan and Keith Randall admire the frame of Al’s ’34 Roadster –
he’s re-restoring it for another run in the Great American Race. On the
lift in the background is Al’s ’59 or ‘60 Corvette (I can’t tell the
difference. Ed.), Wade Chadderton’s snapping a picture, a Jeep on the
lift just above John and Keith. A hood panel for the ’34 Roadster is
backlit by the window.
Each workstation is equipped with a lift and
enough room – practically a Zip Code of its own – for
all surrounding components and related parts. What
a place – it’s where old bowling alleys lanes die and
come back to life as magnificent workbenches and
polished copper air lines adorn the walls. All I could
think of was the warning on a TV medicine ad: “if an
“erection lasts for more than 4 hours seek immediate medical attention.”

The ’34 Roadster body is out of the paint shop and is ready to be
mounted on the chassis.
All this followed up by a great lunch Magnolia’s
in a restored Purcellville mill house. What a day!
Many thanks to our hosts: the Gross and Mason
families.
E-MAIL BAG
Woodies Are Everywhere!
By Dave Westrate
Barbara and I were recently in Sarasota, Florida,
for a few days and we encountered an unusual sight
in the historical Burns Court area of the city. Painted
murals have appeared on the walls of the buildings
and have attracted enough attention to warrant a
major newspaper story. Sarasota is famous for its art
and design schools and the students first did
massive art works on the streets in chalk as part of a
festival. This has evolved into the painting of
murals on the sides of buildings which will remain
for a year. One of the murals is a painting of a photo
of a street scene in Sarasota in the 1940's.
The water had been up to here!

One of the cars in the scene is a 1939 Ford
Deluxe Station Wagon. (second car back on the right
side in the photo)
inches, so that there would be clearance between
the door & the Tyre. A Sixth Spare Wheel was an
added option.
There are not many of these Utes left in Australia, as in recent years, quite a few of those that
remained have been exported to the USA.
I hope that you enjoy these pictures of this
unique vehicle.
As many of you know, we are currently in the
process of restoring a 1939 Deluxe Woodie and I was
delighted to see it on the wall. As they say, "they are
still out there" but sometimes you have to look up to
see them.
A Tale of two 1936 Australian Ute Roadster Pickups
By Trevor Poulsen and Editor
Editor’s Note: This article is a compilation of two
emails from Trevor – the first, back in October, was a
link to eBay Australia where there was a 1936
Australian Ford Roadster Pickup being offered. As
you’ll see below it was NOT a project for the faint of
heart! About a month later Trevor sent me the
second email with an article from Vintage Trucks and
Commercials Magazine about a beautifully restored
1936 Australian Ford Roadster Pickup. I’ve obviously
blended the two sets of pictures together.
Hi to all my American friends. I saw this Truck
Magazine in the News Agent, and when I saw the
great shots of this unique to Australia 1936 Ford
Roadster Ute, I just had to buy the magazine.
Unfortunately, it lives too far away from where I live,
so cannot take photos of it myself. So that you could
look at this great restoration, I decided to scan the
four pages, which are attached to this email.
Of special note is the length of both front doors,
which were standard on both the Roadster &
Phaeton. They have both been shortened a few
Valve Clatter

I found this advertisement and the picture below on the internet. The
ad clearly shows that the Ford Utility (aka Ute) came as a Roadster
Pickup.
This is the Cossey Motors building as it appeared during WWII. The
reported address of this building was on Ann Street which parallels
Adelaide Street, the address listed in the ad above. Maybe Trevor
knows the answer to this riddle.
Photos from VTCM
The 1936 Australian Ute Roadster Pickup was a combination of stock

Ford mechanicals and front sheet metal combined with Australian
designed and produced bodies. The stock Ford components were
produced and imported from Ford of Canada to reduce tariffs.
With the tailgate lowered the interior of the pickup tray is a Woodie
lover’s dream.
This would not be a project for the faint-of-heart or those without
deep pockets and a very understanding wife. However, when finished
you’d probably be the only one in your Regional Group to own one!
Looking from the cab into the tray you can see the inner fender well
has survived but the wood has long since disappeared.
Here’s what the Ute pickup bed and tailgate look like. The body belt
line continues not only all the way down the side of the bed but across
the tailgate. The VTCM article says that mounting the spare on the side
of the bed “saved tray space but could often upset ‘Mother’ if the black
rubber marked her dress as she climbed in or out.”
The engine features a heavy duty oil bath air cleaner.
Here’s what’s left of the tailgate – certainly good for a pattern but not
much else.
You can pick which air cleaner you want to use here.

NVRG LISTSERV
Important Listserv Information
By: Jim McDaniel (Listserv Administrator)
Most of our NVRG club members are on our
NVRG Listserv, and it is the means by which we
distribute the electronic version of the Valve Clatter.
If anything happens that causes you to be removed
from the Listserv, you not only lose the VC, but also
the various messages about tours and other clubrelated information that people post to the list.
We have had some problems with club members
being dropped from the Listserv, and that's the
reason for me writing this article -- to explain why
that usually happens and how you can help prevent
it. If you suspect you've been dropped, please let me
know immediately and I'll check it out.
If Listserv messages are returned as nondeliverable, or reported back to the Listserv as
"SPAM," you can be booted from the list. If nondeliverable because of a full mailbox, it will wait for
several returns before booting you. If reported as
SPAM, it interprets that as an "abuse report" and will
boot you after only two or so reports. AOL is
notorious for abuse reports back to the Listserv. If
you have AOL, please be especially careful about
reporting us as SPAM. Right now I am working on
restoring two addresses that have been booted.
IMPORTANT. Please ensure the e-mail address
for the Listserv is added to your e-mail address book.
That way your carrier will not automatically interpret
and report a Listserv message as SPAM. The address
is NVRG@blue.org. Please be sure this is entered in
your address book.
Second, and I think this could be some of the
problem, is that the Listserv sends out a "Membership Reminder" every month, and this message may
be interpreted by some as SPAM. If you hit your
SPAM-button on this message (or however your
carrier reports SPAM), you may get yourself booted
from the list. This message comes out every month,
and you may receive another one within a week or
so (by the time this VC comes out, however, you may
have already gotten it). Please be sure to NOT report
these as SPAM, or reject it in any way.
Note that the Listserv provides a number of options or features that most of you won't need and
will not use, such as an archives function where you
can go back and review older posts, and the like. If
you use these options, you will need a password to
access them. You are all assigned a password, and
Valve Clatter

the monthly reminder gives you your password. If
you do not use any of these features, but just
receive or post messages to the Listserv, you do not
need your password to receive or to post these
messages. You can ignore (but please don't reject)
the reminders. I would suggest you save the passwords, however.
So you'll recognize them, I've included one of my
reminder messages below. For space reasons, I've
include the only first and the last paragraphs -- with
the password reminder -- deleting the middle
paragraphs. You can read the entire message the
next time you get one. The address "blu.org" is the
Listerv. Here is the message:
Subject: blu.org mailing list memberships reminder
This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your
blu.org mailing list memberships. It includes your subscription info and how to use it to change it or unsubscribe
from a list.

CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF THE 1938 FORD
Designing and Building the 38s
By Editor
Full disclosure right up front – I’m very partial to
1938 Fords and 1938 Ford Woodies in particular. My
folks owned one before I was born, it’s the car they
brought me home from the hospital in and it
faithfully served our family until August,1946, when
my father purchased a new 1946 (gasp!!!) Chevrolet
Woodie.
This picture was taken sometime during the summer of 1946. Note the
non-stock cowl-mounted radio antenna and the dent in the fender just
above the running board – obviously the rubber door check strap failed
some time over the previous eight years.
Celebrate continued on next page
January 2013
Celebrate continued from previous page
In 1938 Ford continued its two year design cycle
established in 1928. That meant that the 1938 Fords
would basically be “refreshed” versions of the
vehicles introduced in 1937. One exception to this
was the introduction of distinctly different front end
styling for the Standard cars. In the past, Standard
models shared the same front end sheet metal and
were distinguished by subtle differences: a painted
grille, a single painted horn, a single windshield
wiper and taillight, and differences in interior
materials, plating and woodgraining, etc.
An early Deluxe design model for 1937 that eventually evolved into the
1938 Standard.
I’ve added the picture below for John Sweet and
all our other Lincoln devotees.
The front end styling of production 1938 cars combined basic 1937
styling with the swooping lines of the model above.
Workers wet block sand the body on this ’38 Lincoln Zephyr body that
appears to be a 3 Window Coupe. See Coupe image on page 2.
Body drop of a 1938 Standard Tudor. Notice the painted windshield
frame on the Standard compared with the chromed windshield frame
on the Deluxe at the top of the next column. The headlight rims
hanging from the bumper guards are an interesting touch.
